Ross, have they ever hit the max number of entries of 60.

Not quite - way back I remember 57. Besides I think that 60 limit would prove to be elastic if ever challenged.

We just received #'s 47 & 48 and I know of at least three more to come.

Craig and Lyne will not be coming this year, but about six others tell me they haven't entered yet, but will be.
Colchester, VT is where Vermont Sportscar is.

It looks like this year!

By my recollection, the largest Pines entry was 57 once in the late 70's. I think 60 is the largest entry of any Canadian stage rally.

Looks like it will be a LONG, great day. ;D

But two cancelled so still 60.

62, this can only mean delay! Will have to plan accordingly! :'(

Still 60, now that Cars 9 (Schmidtke/Hall) and 14 (O'Neil/Headland) have withdrawn. A full house! I would've loved to see Tim O'Neil at the Pines, though. I'm especially sorry the team won't be coming.

Thanks for the info and I was just kidding!

Except that we have to be realist and make plan for some delay, with 60 cars it is hard to not have any delay! Those sweep guys will be busy!

I am in Bancroft now. It's about -5 and there are signs of some fresh snow, but not enough to survive the warm weather coming. Forecast is now calling for showers on Sat. but only a little rain.

Time to get some sleep. Really excited about the full field!

Edit: I guess we are down to 59. Looks like the Pug 205 isn't going to make it!

Never a good sign to get a phone message from your driver the night before you are to leave that just says - "call me back".

Still, it is much more polite than the time I flew to Washington to have the motel clerk hand me a note - "we are not going to make it, no brakes" (couldn't they have told me before I got on the plane............

Looks like I'll be working in the woods somewhere.

The good news - I do get a Thanksgiving meal with my son!
